Objective:To explore the role of regular BMI monitoring and bone density testing in children's growth and development.Methods:A total of 984 children aged 5-15 years old in our physical examination from Janu-ary 1,2015 to January 1,2016 were selected as study objects and randomly divided into observation group and con-trol group.Control group children were given routine health development knowledge guide,observation group chil-dren in addition to regular child development and health care knowledge guidance,and regular monitoring of BMI and bone mineral density measurement,according to monitoring results,children and parents were related to monitoring education.The height,weight,BMI index,obesity rate,and bone mineral density were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with children in the control group,the children in the observation group and the control group had significant differences in height,weight,and BMI index (P＜0.05).The incidence of overweight and o-besity in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group.The difference was statistically significant.Significance (P＜0.05) ;BMD was higher in children in the observation group than in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusions:Children's regular BMI and bone mineral density tests help children grow physically and promote more healthy growth.%目的:探讨儿童体质指数(BMI)定期监测及骨密度测试在儿童生长发育中的作用.方法:选取体格检查中的5-15周岁的984例儿童作为研究对象,并随机分为观察组和对照组,对照组儿童给予常规的保健发育方面的知识指导,观察组儿童除给予常规的儿童发育保健方面的知识指导外,并进行BMI定期监测及骨密度测定,根据监测结果,对儿童及家长进行相关的监测教育.分别比较两组儿童身高、体重、BMI指数、肥胖率及骨密度.结果:通过比较发现观察组儿童与对照组儿童在身高、体重及BMI指数方面与对照组儿童具有明显差异(P＜0.05);观察组儿童超重及肥胖的发生率明显低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P＜0.05);观察组儿童与对照组儿童相比骨密度更高,差异具有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论:通过儿童定期BMI检测及骨密度测试有助于儿童体格发育,促进儿童更加健康的成长.
